Ok.. For the 7A going left does it start from the lower red holds or higher blue? I understand the 7B to the right goes from lower..
Advice much appreciated.

[tomtom]

No worries just did it shit looking problem but climbs superbly!

[slackline]

From the red holds or the blue ones?

[r-man]

Does this describe it accurately?

This reminds me, Chas Cooper told me about a new problem at Hobson Moor - will try and find the details.

[tomtom]

Not really Robin - anyway I ended up starting using the green holds LH, rh, and outside of lf. Slap for arête then slap for top. Really good actually and felt spot on for 7A in my rusty condition.

[tomtom]

Sorry Rman - that sounded a bit glib... (posting too fast) what I meant was that the description doesnt really help!

[r-man]

No worries - what I meant was, what should the correct description be? Can upload your photo to pb if that helps?

[tomtom]

Sit start with two crimps on thin break left of centre at mid height (or use one low and left for LH), throw out left to the arete, re-position and pop for the top.

I think this is a bit clearer...

[r-man]

Cheers, have pasted your description into pb. Feel free to tweak problems if they don't seem right, I don't know Hobby.

Thanks R man - and a cleared up pic..

[r-man]

Nice one R-man

I was amused to see that someone has the grade for one problem as a 3 (soft) :D

[Jim]

It's a great problem isn't it.
Still not done house on the hill yet tho

[a dense loner]

how come some first ascents are recorded on pb and not others? do you know r-man? all the first ascents are recorded in the guides yet not pb, seems strange

[a dense loner]

oh and both versions of house on the hill climb superbly for something that looks so bad

Yup - the RH edition gives me an excuse to head back...
Although it looks like theres quite a bit of wear on the starting foot block/crack/hold for the RH version. I might glob some superglue on it when theres been a dry spell...

Looks like Hobby moor has had some recent TLC as there was some decent patio-ing and even a drainage channel dug to remove the usual quagmire under the tricky bit of the traverse...

YES! It's been too long, I await details with bated breath.

Stuff gets added by different folk in an adhoc manner. It's an easy one (for you) to rectify.

[a dense loner]

Eh, I can go onto a website as joe bloggs and add info on fa's? I emailed Gareth ages ago to ask why fa's weren't recorded on some stuff and he never got back to me. Ok when I've got time I'll fill in all the fa's I know. Ta jon

If you're quick you'll beat Kelsall to Wimberry

That's fine. The truth will out
